Default How do I enable multiple selection dropdowns?

I am creating dropdowns from lists and would like to enable multiple
selections from a list for a cell. Is that possible?

You can't do it with a drop down. You might be able to get by with a
ListBox, which does support multiple selections.

You can do this with data validation and programming. There's a sample
file he

Under Data Validation, look for 'DV0017 - Select Multiple Items from
Dropdown List'
